is conducive to health, and it can be
used in various ways. Vast quanti-
| ties of this fruit are consumed, fur
nishing a good and wholesome diet
for the millions. In fact, it is hard to
say too much about the apple, as u
food. The varieties of apples l would
recommend are the following I:

Davis; Jonathan, Yellow BelIfower,
Smith Cider, Fall Pippin, SINNERS

| ORANGES AND LEMONS.
l see nothing to discourage any one
from raising oranges and lemons.
The cottony cushion scale will be con-
fined to certain localities and eradi-
Gated ultimately, if the people perse-
we're with determination. Our oranges
come in when we will have no COM
petition and the freights are being
reduced. If they are properly dis
tributed they will bring good price,
besides our oranges stand transporta-
ton better than any other. If our
oranges sell for remunerative prices
that proves that we produce a
good orange, as we have to
compete with the best grown else
where. One dollar Il box net will pay
the producer. The Orange Growers
Union, which has been so successfully
organized, will put 100000 more
money in the possession of the orange
growers than if there had been nc
organization affected. The same re-
suit will follow in the central and
northern part of the State.
FRUIT GROWERS UNIONS
Are destined to be of incalculable
benefit to fruit growers of California
and also to dealers and consumers in
the East. The fruit will be distrib-
uted so that noplace shall be glutted.
| During the last year there were but
few cities where our fruits were
shipped, comparatively speaking,
when our fruit is properly distributed
throughout the United States then it
will be demonstrated that we do not
have one-tenth the fruit to supply the
demand. Our population is increas-
ing about 100000 year which
means fruit for 10000 more. In
the next decade there will be co.
900, 900 people. The more of our
| fruit that is consumed the more will
be wanted. If those engaged in the
fruit industry will eradicate the insect
pests, take good care of their orchards,
cultivate the very best kinds and
varieties, they must reap a large re-
ward.
We wish to particularly emphasize
the importance OF planting but few
kinds and varieties A great mistake
is made by the majority in planting
too many kinds and varieties. Then
if the fruit is put up in an attractive
manner there will be market which
will pay the producer handsome
profit with far better business than
in any other legitimate enterprise and
Il very pleasant enjoyment. There is
no business on the whole earth so
ennobling, so refreshing and 50 pleas
ant.
| TIE FRUIT INDUSTRY.
Let us glance moment at the
fruit industry when there is scarcity
of rain. On general principles, we
can produce a good fruit crop when
we have a dry season. A scarcity of
rain, on the other hand, if we are de-
pending on grain, and there is crop
failure we suffer loss, but if we are
depending on fruit for a livelihood we
are not so anxious as to whether it
rains or not. Now, in conclusion, let
me ask this question: Is there any
enterprise in California, or in any
other country, that offers such certain
paying profits as the fruit industry
Just notice it for moment; notice
| the different possibilities there are in
this great industry-green fruits, dried
fruits, canned fruits, crystalized fruits,
jams, jellies, marmalades, candied
fruits. There is no industry to COM
pare with it. 1t is grand business to
those engaged in it. The influence it
exerts is Statutory; it ennobles, re-
fines and makes people better.
What is there to discourage any one
who wishes to engage in the fruit in
dustty in California? Are there not
so, 900 900 people on the other side to
use our fruit? Is it not a fact beyond
a doubt that there are millions of fruit
trees killed by the severe winters in
the East, and horticulturists are dis
couraged there? In the first place,
the orchardists have to wait eight or
ten years for their trees to come into
bearing, then to have them winter
killed. And suppose they replant ); it
is only question of few years, and
they are again exposed to one of those
severe winters, and most Of the trees
are again killed. met gentleman
a short time ago from Ohio. He re-
ferred to a peach orchard which he
had, and he remarked that the winter
of 1S84-S5 killed the entire orchard
Can peaches, pears, plums, prunes
and apricots be produced in paying
quantities there? No; not at all
There are some apples in all States,
but in many places they do not sue
ceed well. Take Champlain county,
Illinois, which a few years ago sent
out OF the county $4,000 barrels. At
present they send elsewhere for ap-
pies for home consumption.
